Vialidad Launches Second Stage of Voluntary Retirement Program

The move signals the government’s push to shrink the agency through route transfers and the concession of more than 9,000 kilometers of corridors.

Overview

  • On Monday the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad published Resolución 1220/2026 in the Boletín Oficial to open a second stage of voluntary retirements for permanent staff and indefinite contractors.
  • The program bars applicants who face public‑administration criminal charges, are under disciplinary proceedings, have pending labor litigation unless they withdraw it, or already started pension paperwork.
  • Workers who accept must sign a severance agreement that forbids return to the national public sector for five years and requires union officeholders to renounce tutela sindical to apply.
  • The scheme offers three exit formulas—90% per year of service (cap 24 years), 85% plus an assistance‑coverage add‑on (cap 24 years), and a 90% option for those 64 or older with a 12‑year cap—and ties payments to four brackets paid in 1, 3, 5 or 8 monthly installments.
  • The second call continues a broader Milei administration effort to cut state payrolls and transfer road assets after an earlier dissolution decree was suspended by the judiciary and following a roughly 26.5% drop in DNV staff since November 2023.
